Be held and guided through the process of making your very own sculptural clay bust.
Have you ever wanted to take your clay play beyond the pots and vases and make something more sculptural and figurative? It's NOT too hard for you!
Join us for a hands-on sculptural workshop, in a no-pressure environment, building a bust from clay with friendly Northern Rivers artist, Belinda Wearne.
Take home a once-fired sculpture of your own making, start to finish.
You will learn how to:
  • Work with clay to build a bust from a slab
  • Create an expressive, figurative sculpture
  • Use both tools and your hands to sculpt and shape
  • Understand the basics of sculpting a human face
  • Simple finishes with slip/engobe
These look beautiful in your home and are usually around 30 cm high.
The workshop will take place over 2 days - each day from 10am NSW - 3pm NSW.
Due to space limitations, this workshop will have a maximum of 8 attendees.
Yes, you can do this workshop as a beginner! Suitable for anyone who loves to play with clay.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact me.
A light lunch and coffee and tea will be available. Please bring any other snacks or nourishment you might require for your specific dietary needs.
The address in COBAKI LAKES will be provided in your welcome email after you have bought your ticket.
NOTE: Completed sculptures will need time for drying and then firing so allow for 6 - 8 weeks after the workshop for bisque firing to be completed.
Sculptures may then be picked up, or if you prefer you can arrange with me for yours to be posted or delivered (for which I will ask you to pay the postage cost). Bear in mind that your sculpture may weigh around 7 kg so domestic delivery with Australia Post could be around $40.
